, catight eagerly at fresh material, while their 
great learning pat such material at thei ipl in 
form of numerous obscure and local legends never 
before treated in any well-known work of literature. 
This is why so many stories are known to us only 
from Alexandrians, or from late compilers who 
obviously drew on Alexandrian poetry for informa- 
tion. A third factor was the prevalence of the 
romantic and amatory interest. Psychology had 
been in the air, so to speak, ever since Euripides and 
Menander, and one of the most obvious ways to show 
the human character at its most interesting is to 
draw a man or woman in love. Therefore stories of 
the love, not so much, as in the preceding centuries, 
of a man for a younger member of his own sex, but 
regi sear a for a maid, were extremely

the world either have an Alexandrian origin or are

and so no poet was even an a tice in his art 
until he had put into the mouth of a Medeia, an 
Agamemnon, or a Scylla, an artistic and clever expres-

was powerful in the wild where wild things 
live. For these reasons, while beneficent and desir- 


effects. He could kill as well as make alive, send 
madness as well as prosperity and mirth. His ritual 
consisted largely, before Greeks tamed and civilized 
it, of wild orgiastic dancing on the hills and in places 
outside the little cultivated areas, tabu places we may 
say, where the ted felt themselves in 
uncanny as well as surroundings, as indeed 
the most blasé member of our present-day urban 
communities may feel for a moment, at least in 
youth, if he will “ let himself go " by vigorous move- 
ment in a solitary place in strong fresh air. Besides 
all this, there is some evidence that the sacrifices 
made to this god were of the nature of a mystic 
communion, in which the worshippers did not merely 
beast and make a banquet at which the deity 
guest, but slay and devour the god himself in 
, thus a into themselves his god- 
head. It is no wonder, , that there gathered 
around Dionysos many stories of his terrible wrath 
against the impious and presumptuous, of his fantastic 
sufferings, his marvellous gifts and graces, and of his 
activities as a giver of fertility to plants, animals, and 
on occasion human beings. 
centuries had passed since the existence of 
these beliefs and ices had impressed the sophis-

aroused by the dastardly assailant of Aura and the 
monotonously successful wizard who kills large num- 
bers of incredible but mostly inoffensive Indians. 
Never has it been more patent that an imaginative 


writer, if he is to impress his audience, must have at 


least an imaginative belicf in his own story. But the 
ancient tales of how the great god had shown his 
eee see nng of incense lod 
matter for paradoxes, and the old merri- 

ments (for the cult certainly oe its jovial side) 
brought a snigger now instead of a laugh. To the 
student of religion or mythology, as to the 
of literature, Nonnos has nothing 

to offer except the telling after his fashion of a few 
stories not to be found elsewhere, as the fight between 
Dionysos and Perseus (bk. xlvii. 475 ff.), of which traces 
can be seen in earlier art but not many in literature.* 
It is of rather more importance that he has some know- 
ledge, of course na bly literary, of Orphism, a system 
which originated in or about the sixth century n.c., 
had a most curious mythology and theology of its 


of Zagreus is old, probably of the original stratum of 
Orphism, for he is well known to Pi in his Orphic

do not know ; the strangeness of the 

ete tten by Zeus after having swolkemnd ie 
eart of the older Zagreus) suggests something quite 

alien to ordinary Greek thought, and so akin to the 

abnormal ideas of Orphism itself. 

If Nonnos had been a more consistent thinker and 
more of a poet, he had hold of an idea which would at 
least have given his work a grandiose pattern and a 
real, contemporary interest. He seems to have tried 
to fit the events of the story into an astrological 
background, ill though he was fitted to do so, when 
his knowledge of both astronomy and astrology was 
evidently feeble.’ Astrology had long been popular 
and widely accepted, and it continued to be so, what- 
ever the Church might say or do, till modern astro- 
nomy made its schemes cease to appeal to the average 
man's imaginative picture of the universe. Stege- 
mann has shown’ that he had some acquaintance

the cosmic winter is over iii. 1), summer is come 
to the universe and the blessing of the new god, a god 
of the fruitfulness of autumn, is due. This comes in 
the later books of the poem, with the birth, growth 
_ and triumph of Dionysos. But unfortunately, having 
got his new saviour-god born, he has no idea what to 
with him, and the poem trails off into a series of 
conventional adventures, military and amorous, each 
more than the last, till finally a few concluding 
lines Dionysos away to heaven. He has lost 
sight of his own framework, recurring to it only now 
and again, and so the work which might have been 
a curious monument of astrological religion, instinct 
with some genuine feeling, is but a heap of episodes, 
loosely connected. 

Nonnos had, however, another enthusiasm, which 
gave rise to a piece of apparently nal and not 
nes Aap ue creation. He had, even at that 
late date, unbou faith in the civilizing mission of 
the Roman Empire (much less dead, of course, in the 
East than in the West) and especially in the benefits 
of Roman law. Therefore he provides one of the 

est of the law-schools, that at Berytus, with a

works of certain late Greek writers have been 
oxpleined on the theory of common Hellenistic sources; but 
Julius Braune, Nownos wad Ovid (Greifewald, . 
1935, 41 pages), attempts to direct use of Ovid's Meta- 
morphoses by Nonnos. Alt his method ye or

accepted by RK. Keydell, Gnomon, xi. (1935), 508, who also 
discusses the debt of Nonnos to Claudian, his fellow country- 
man (604-605). Whether Nonnos read Virgil is more 
doubtful, —— not impossible, since the passages in 
which he might be supposed to have used the Aeneid, for 
example, have their proetras likewise in 
Apollonius Rhodius. This is the conservative view of L.
